Turn Down Thermostats to Fight the Ruskies, Europeans ToldPeter Caddle 4 Mar 2022
Europeans should make their houses colder to help break the EU’s dependence on Russian gas, an OECD group has said.
The International Energy Agency — an intergovernmental organisation under the avowedly globalist Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) — has recommended that Europeans turn down their thermostats to help reduce reliance on Russian energy.
While the price of natural gas had been rising steeply since last year, in a totally foreseeable development it has soared since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, partly due to Europe’s over-reliance on Russian imports.
However, although European governments have had years to prepare and diversify their energy sources, one way ordinary citizens could help reduce this reliance is by turning down their thermostats, with the organisation releasing a ten-point plan on Thursday to wean the EU off of Russian gas.
“Russia’s use of its natural gas resources as an economic and political weapon show Europe needs to act quickly to be ready to face considerable uncertainty over Russian gas supplies next winter,” a post on the organisation’s website reports its Executive Director, Fatih Birol, as saying.
“Europe needs to rapidly reduce the dominant role of Russia in its energy markets and ramp up the alternatives as quickly as possible,” she continued, noting that the ten-point plan will help achieve that goal.
